Hot Cakes White Stock

Hot Cakes White is a compact Matthiola incana selection with fragrant white flowers. PanAmerican Seed describes its Hot Cakes plants as well-branched and dwarf, with a mounded, upright habit, and lists a height and spread of 10–16 and 6–8 inches. ## Flowers and form The [PanAmerican Seed plant detail]() notes that plugs can be selected for fully double flowers; comparable non-selectable grey-leaf types may produce many single flowers. Its bright white blooms suit landscape beds and garden plantings. Blooming is listed for early spring, spring, and autumn. ## Growing Plant in sun and allow the branching mound room to develop. The grower timing is four weeks for plugs followed by five to seven weeks after transplant to finish; these are production times, not mature garden-size estimates. ## Maintenance Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water during prolonged dry weather. Remove faded stems when the display ends and tidy the plant as needed.
